BENEFIT INFORMATION

At Reid Traditional Schools’ Valley Academy, we value our employees, and our benefits package reflects that fact. Following is a summary of Valley Academy’s current benefits package.

Retirement

Valley Academy provides retirement and long term disability benefits through the Arizona State Retirement System. This is a valuable benefit to our employees. Only one-third of charter schools in Arizona offer ASRS retirement, and we are happy to provide this benefit to our staff. ASRS guidelines dictate eligibility and participation rates. This benefit is available to employees who regularly work over 20 hours per week. Valley Academy matches 100% of employee contributions.

A supplemental Salary Deferral Plan is offered in conjunction with the Arizona State Retirement System through TIAA-CREF for employees who wish to have an additional way to save for retirement. Click below for more information.

Health, Dental and Vision Insurance

Valley Academy offers comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage to full-time employees. Employees pay only $10 per pay period for health, dental, and/or vision insurance – the school pays the bulk of the premium. Coverage for dependent spouses and children may be purchased for an additional charge.

Life Insurance

Valley Academy provides $25,000 in life insurance to every employee who regularly works over 30 hours per week. Additional insurance for employees, spouses, and dependents may be purchased upon request.

AFLAC Insurance

Many additional insurance packages are available for purchase through AFLAC Insurance, including Short Term Disability, Hospitalization insurance, Cancer Coverage, and more.
